Comments:

did well thought i was too far left initially had to correct halfway through and think i over corrected just before the end, i had to swim vigorously at end so I didnt get carried downstream, there was an unexpected perpendicular current near the exit that just pushed me down quickly
Transition 1
  • 07m 54s
Comments:

next time i would run from swim the .5 miles to the transition zone in my wetsuit halfway down rather than put shoes on for this part, i wasted a lot of time changing my shoes and actually finding my bag at the swim exit transition
What would you do differently?:

no shoes at swim exit, run in wetsuit to bike transition

Comments:

lost a lot of ground here, not in shape well for these hills, though they said no benefit for areo bars, i certainly would have used them, also would enjoy a waterbottle fixed to my stem, as grabbing bottle during ride being so hilly was annoying.

Comments:

would have been easier knowing the course before hand, and knowing how to pace myself throughout
